Abstract

Visualization is a medium for communicating information to and between people with different background knowledge. The availability of digital tools and the progress of visualization technologies enhance the potential of visual representation. But along with it, issues emerge as how to choose appropriate forms of visualization to make results generally understandable. This paper presents our approach to convey information on research conducted at ETH Zurich's Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) to a broad target audience through visualization. We first carry out a requirements analysis for the visualization task. The results of the analysis are elaborated and implemented by means of a software prototype that employs an interactive Dymaxion Map to visualize the information given in our case.
